Ffff whenever I'm thinking about Temper, Temper and not writing it, I'm getting super anxious. I'm convinced it's not interesting/not very good/whatever, and it's driving me up a wall. D: I just keep telling myself that I'm writing it to write it, not for any other reasons, but idk. It doesn't always help.

FFFF.

HEY OTHER WRITERS ON MY F-LIST. Ever feel like this with a fic? D:

ETA: And then I proceeded to write 3k more, and with that finished a chapter with a wordcount of almost 7k in a fic that is now 20k long. And has been written in just a little over a week, and isn't even half done.

...

Wow.

Only every time I plan, or write a fic.

T_____T

I'm just so scared that I'm

A) Getting the characterization really wrong/making a caricature of one of the main characters in the fic

and

B) That there's nothing of substance; no plot, no real interesting relationship development, etc


DDDDD:

I know how you feel I always worry about that stuff. Especially the characterization, and relationship development. When I'm writing I also worry about whether I'm putting in too much detail, or not enough. I usually know how a fic is going to start, and end, and have a few important scenes planed out, but other than that I have no idea where the fic will go.

*nods* Yeah...

Also, it's an active fandom, so people have distinct ideas about how characters should be written. Fffff.

Yup, as I already told you - if I abandonded fics because I thought that no one would (want to) read them, I'd have absolutely nothing done. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Yeah... I'm just having so much trouble calming down. My chest's been tight over it all day. :( And I'm all jittery. NO FUN.

(But I did write lots of fun stuff. So I have two chapters and an interlude needing a beta, at some point XD)

Whenever I feel like that, I go read something horrible, so as to remind me that even if what I'm writing is all of those things, it's still better than whatever I'm reading and goddamn, that is something.

Haha, I just read a lot of Arthur/Ariadne Inception!fic and most of it is... really bad. Especially the smut scenes. So that did help! Also, my beta read what I had so far, and really enjoyed it, so that helped. :)
